Typical hazards & measures
Sharp edges on climbing holds
— Inspect holds regularly for wear and tear. Replace any holds with sharp edges immediately. Teach participants to report any damage they encounter.
Over-reliance on auto-belays
— Ensure participants understand the limitations of auto-belay devices. Regularly check the devices for proper functioning, and use manual belays with beginners to teach essential climbing skills.
Clipping into gear loop
— Instruct participants never to clip into their gear loops. Demonstrate correct attachment points on harnesses, and supervise closely during climbing and belaying.
Incorrectly tied knots
— Teach participants how to tie knots, with instructors checking thoroughly before every climb. Use easy-to-check knots like the figure-eight follow-through.
Participants with additional needs
— Provide tailored support and accommodations for participants with additional needs. Brief instructors on individual requirements and ensure that necessary resources are available (e.g., adaptive harnesses).
